What customers say
Customers generally appreciate the Netgear EAX12 for its ability to expand WiFi 6 coverage, often noting a noticeable improvement in dead zones. A consistent theme revolves around the setup experience, which many find surprisingly straightforward and quick, allowing for easy integration into existing home networks. However, some users report mixed experiences with long term reliability and consistent speed delivery, suggesting that while initial setup is simple, sustained high performance can vary. The extender's value is often tied directly to its ability to maintain a stable, fast connection across extended areas.
